Ceryx fulvescens (1)
Taxonomic note:

Transferred to Ceryx by J. J. de Freina & W. De Prins (2022a: 91). Had been transferred to Trichaeta by G. F. Hampson (1898a: 54); this act would cause many taxonomic and nomenclatural problems since its synonym thyretiformis is the type species of Ceryx which has priority over Trichaeta.
